After the whole sect traveled to ancient times, I led the rebellion

The promotion of improved rice varieties in Anping County was very successful, and so was Huang County.

The people of Huang County had seen the scene of a bumper rice harvest. They had missed the opportunity once, so naturally they rushed to the county government to exchange for better seeds for this spring ploughing.

In addition to these two counties, almost all other counties also planted rice under the mobilization of the county magistrate.

After the rice is planted, the next step is to apply fertilizer and control pests, and the soil and fertilizer factory in Anping becomes bustling.

The people learned about the effectiveness of the local fertilizer from Huangxian and every household bought some back home.

The official standing in front of the yamen to register for the replacement of the improved breed today was Xiao Lingyao. She had just entered the yamen after passing the assessment yesterday.

Xiao Lingyao sneaked out of the Xiao family yesterday.

Thinking that she was going to get married soon, and to a man whose character she didn't know, Xiao Lingyao felt a little more resistant.

The article written by Yuehong made her think more. She asked herself, does she really want to get married early and then stay in the house to have children and serve her husband?

Xiao Lingyao rejected this idea.

While going out to burn incense and worship Buddha, Xiao Lingyao came to the Anping government office alone without telling anyone.

The government has a lot of affairs to deal with, and there are never enough officials.

Therefore, official documents for recruiting officials were always posted in the public notice area.

Xiao Lingyao could read and do some math, and he also had beautiful handwriting, so he naturally passed the assessment set by Mu Qing.

Xiao Lingyao is the eldest daughter of the Xiao family. Once she produced information proving her identity, she passed the household registration review.

Officials in Anping work in the yamen during the day and can choose to go home at night. Those who have no place to live or want to live alone can also live in the dormitory.

The collective dormitory was built by Mu Qing not long ago with bricks and cement. Most of the people living in this dormitory are officials from the government office. The rent is low, which is much more cost-effective than renting a house outside.

Xiao Lingyao did not choose to return to the Xiao family, and the government office would not force Xiao Lingyao, but arranged a dormitory for him.

Originally, Xiao Lingyao would have received training one week before joining the company.

Recently, there was an issue of distributing high-quality seeds. The government office was short of staff and was conscripting able-bodied men everywhere. Xiao Lingyao was assigned the task as soon as he arrived at the government office.

She is very satisfied with her current job. Just as she thought, no one will look down on women officials in Anping.

Whenever Xiao Lingyao encounters anything he doesn't know how to do, everyone will come to help him as long as they are free.

She didn't bring much money with her, but fortunately the food in the government office canteen was large and cheap.

Xiao Lingyao had been missing for a day, and the Xiao family had already asked their servants to search the hill where the temple was located, but unfortunately they didn't find it after searching for a whole day and night.

Xiao Anju, the head of the Xiao family, had a terribly gloomy expression. He looked at the servants of the Xiao family who had searched in vain and was filled with anger:

"Start the search from Anping. If we still haven't found the young lady by today..."

His gaze swept over the servants as if they were real.

Xiao Anju thought that a night had already passed. He didn't want to make a big fuss, but since he didn't find the person, he had no choice but to do so.

What a pity for the marriage.

The second son of the Zhuang family in Xiaozhuang County was the one Xiao Anju asked his wife to look after for Xiao Ling, and they were going to get married in a few days.

Since Xiao Lingyao disappeared, the marriage fell through.

He finally got close to the banker.

Xiao Anju looked into the distance irritably.

Xiao Lingyao still didn't know how her family was careful not to let others know yesterday in order to find her. Even if she knew, Xiao Lingyao would not return to the Xiao family.

As he came into contact with more people, Xiao Lingyao got to know the character of the Zhuang family's second son when chatting with Yuehong.

Zhuang Meng had a very bad reputation in Xiaozhuang County and often visited places of entertainment.

As for why Yuehong knew about Zhuang Meng's affairs, it was because Zhuang Meng got drunk not long ago and wanted to rob a good girl of her innocence.

The woman reported the matter to the county government of Xiaozhuang County.

As the matter involved the Zhuang family in Xiaozhuang County, Yuehong was ordered to go to Xiaozhuang County and make the judgment together with the county magistrate.

Zhuang Meng failed to succeed and was sentenced to one month in prison.

Finally, in order to get Zhuang Meng out of prison, the banker privately settled the matter with the woman with money, and Zhuang Meng was able to leave the prison.

Xiao Lingyao did not mention his marriage with Zhuang Meng, but everything Zhuang Meng did touched Xiao Lingyao's bottom line.

She couldn't accept spending the rest of her life with such a man.

Xiao Lingyao remembered the names of the people who came to exchange for good seeds.

Starting from the street, a group of people were rushing around in a noisy manner, as if they were looking for something.

Soon, the group found the government office.

"Make way. The Xiao family is looking for someone. Whoever finds the woman in this portrait will be rewarded with 100 taels of silver."

"Hey, you're looking for someone, but you bump into someone."

"This must be a servant of the Xiao family."

These servants' actions were rough, angering many passers-by.

Someone saw the portrait and thought it looked very familiar. He glanced at the portrait and thought about the official who registered him in front of the government office today, and suddenly remembered:

"Isn't this Lady Xiao? I saw her this morning."

"Yes, it seems to be the new Lord Xiao."

The people who have seen Xiao Lingyao all have some impression of Xiao Lingyao's appearance.

Soon this group of servants found the yamen.

"Miss Xiao!"

One of the servants saw Xiao Lingyao and shouted:

"Detain the young lady."

The group of people came to Xiao Lingyao regardless of anything. When Xiao Lingyao saw the servants of the Xiao family, there was a hint of despair in his eyes.

Was she found so soon? Did she really have to go back and marry Zhuang Meng?

The servants were about to restrain Xiao Lingyao, but the people around them saw that this group of people seemed to be arresting criminals rather than looking for someone.

Moreover, Lord Xiao was still registering their names, so how could they be taken away by these people for no reason?

"Why are you pulling a woman's sleeve in broad daylight?"

There were many brave men among the people. A young man stood up and slapped the servant's hand away.

The Xiao family servant was obstructed and looked at the young man:

"This is Miss Xiao from our Xiao family. I am following the orders of the head of the family..."

"No matter whose orders you follow, I see that Lord Xiao has not agreed. You are not looking for someone, you are forcibly seizing a woman!"

The young man interrupted the servant, and the other people also realized that something was wrong and gathered around Xiao Lingyao.

The servant was furious and pulled out a knife from behind:

"Everyone in Anping knows the Anping Xiao family. I think you are tired of living."

The servant pretended to brandish his knife.

When Xiao Lingyao saw that these servants actually took out their weapons, she felt a little depressed and didn't want to see others get hurt by her.

She thought about it and took a step forward.

"Wait a minute, let's see who dares to act so recklessly in the government office."

Mu Qing walked out of the gate, her voice was clear and had a bit of majesty.

After these servants took out their knives, several yamen runners secretly watched the people around them and saw that these people were shocked by Mu Qing's words.

They took advantage of the servants' stunned moment to quickly step forward and snatch the knives from their hands.

It took only a few seconds for the bailiff to completely control the Xiao family servants.

Xiao Lingyao stared at Mu Qing in a daze.

Mu Qingchao and Xiao Lingyao smiled slightly, but when they looked at the Xiao family servants, the smile disappeared from their faces:

"The Xiao family's servants attempted to commit murder in the street but failed, and were all taken to jail."

"Yes."

The servants who had been so arrogant just now quickly disappeared from everyone's sight.

Xiao Lingyao was a little absent-minded. She glanced at Mu Qing and finally mustered up the courage to speak:

"Master Mu, I was the one who ran away from the Xiao family. Today's incident was caused by me."

Mu Qing almost understood the whole picture of the matter from Yue Hong and the people today.

"You are not wrong. It is the Xiao family that is wrong. You are now an official of Anping Prefecture, and I will protect you."
